Description	This paper examines changes in sentence complexity and syntactic functions of clauses that have occurred in academic texts over a hundred-year time span. Every finite and non-finite clause can carry out one of four syntactic functions in sentences: 1) It can substitute for clause elements commonly expressed by noun phrases; 2) It can be used instead of adverbials; 3) It can further develop noun phrases; 4) It can be used as a comment clause. The findings indicate that sentences in current academic prose in contrast to sentences in academic prose written a hundred years ago are shorter in terms of the number of words and number of clauses. They show a tendency towards a non-finite mode of expression resulting in stronger syntactic condensation. Moreover, they display growing intellectual complexity and more apparent straightforwardness with reference to hypotaxis - parataxis relationships and sentence structure.
